I'm going to experiment with some 12V valves I found in my travels and will
pass along my findings...(priced great if they work, and they are new, not
surplus)...  Also I found a surplus store close to me that had a huge reel of
LEGOable clear tubing at 8 cents a foot... said he hadn't sold any off that
reel in years... If anybody would like me to get some for them just let me
know and we can set something up... I bought 10 foot to play with in case it
wansn't small enough, but it fits on the pumps nice and snug.

For everyone who wants solenoid operated pneumatic valves, might I draw
your attention to the following products in the McMaster-Carr catalog?

A. 6 VDC miniature electronic-operated pneumatic solenoid valves.  They
cost about US $24 per unit and come in:
- Two way normally open
- Three way normally closed
- Three way normally open
Air connections are threaded for 10-32 connectors.  From what I gather,
the parts about 3/4" diameter and 2-1/2" high.  Details at
http://www.mcmaster.com/cgi/loadpage.cgi?pagenum=377&catnum=106


B. You can get nylon adapter fittings for 10-32 male thread to 1/16" ID
tube (single barb), also from McMaster-Carr at about $2 for a package of
10 fittings.  See
http://www.mcmaster.com/cgi/loadpage.cgi?pagenum=84&catnum=106

C.  The McMaster-Carr catalog also has a wide variety of narrow-bore
polymer tubing at around $0.20 a foot for broken reels.

You can order on-line from McMaster-Carr, and I have always found them
prompt and dependable.

Cheers

(...) Go and find an aquarium supplies shop. Not only do they do the tubing, but also, plastic connectors, both in the 'T' shape, but also the 'X' form, which is not standard 'Lego', but very useful... Best Wishes (25 years ago, 21-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics)
